Tejun Heo 6dfca32984 job control: make task_clear_jobctl_pending() clear TRAPPING automatically
JOBCTL_TRAPPING indicates that ptracer is waiting for tracee to
(re)transit into TRACED.  task_clear_jobctl_pending() must be called
when either tracee enters TRACED or the transition is cancelled for
some reason.  The former is achieved by explicitly calling
task_clear_jobctl_pending() in ptrace_stop() and the latter by calling
it at the end of do_signal_stop().

Calling task_clear_jobctl_trapping() at the end of do_signal_stop()
limits the scope TRAPPING can be used and is fragile in that seemingly
unrelated changes to tracee's control flow can lead to stuck TRAPPING.

We already have task_clear_jobctl_pending() calls on those cancelling
events to clear JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING.  Cancellations can be handled by
making those call sites use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead and updating
task_clear_jobctl_pending() such that task_clear_jobctl_trapping() is
called automatically if no stop/trap is pending.

This patch makes the above changes and removes the fallback
task_clear_jobctl_trapping() call from do_signal_stop().

Tejun Heo 3759a0d94c job control: introduce JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and task_clear_jobctl_pending()
This patch introduces JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and replaces
task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() with task_clear_jobctl_pending()
which takes an extra @mask argument.

JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK is currently equal to JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but
future patches will add more bits.  recalc_sigpending_tsk() is updated
to use JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK instead.

task_clear_jobctl_pending() takes @mask which in subset of
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK and clears the relevant jobctl bits.  If
JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING is set, other STOP bits are cleared together.  All
task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending() users are updated to call
task_clear_jobctl_pending() with JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING which is
functionally identical to task_clear_jobctl_stop_pending().

This patch doesn't cause any functional change.

Tejun Heo 81be24b8cd ptrace: relocate set_current_state(TASK_TRACED) in ptrace_stop()
In ptrace_stop(), after arch hook is done, the task state and jobctl
bits are updated while holding siglock.  The ordering requirement
there is that TASK_TRACED is set before JOBCTL_TRAPPING is cleared to
prevent ptracer waiting on TRAPPING doesn't end up waking up TRACED is
actually set and sees TASK_RUNNING in wait(2).

Move set_current_state(TASK_TRACED) to the top of the block and
reorganize comments.  This makes the ordering more obvious
(TASK_TRACED before other updates) and helps future updates to group
stop participation.

This patch doesn't cause any functional change.

Tejun Heo a8f072c1d6 job control: rename signal->group_stop and flags to jobctl and update them
signal->group_stop currently hosts mostly group stop related flags;
however, it's gonna be used for wider purposes and the GROUP_STOP_
flag prefix becomes confusing.  Rename signal->group_stop to
signal->jobctl and rename all GROUP_STOP_* flags to JOBCTL_*.

Bit position macros JOBCTL_*_BIT are defined and JOBCTL_* flags are
defined in terms of them to allow using bitops later.

While at it, reassign JOBCTL_TRAPPING to bit 22 to better accomodate
future additions.

This doesn't cause any functional change.

-v2: JOBCTL_*_BIT macros added as suggested by Linus.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 1c3cc11602 timers: Consider slack value in mod_timer()
There is an optimization which does not update the timer if the timer
was pending and the expiration time was unchanged.

Since commit 3bbb9ec9 ("timers: Introduce the concept of timer slack
for legacy timers") this optimization is no longer applied for timers
where the expiration time got extended due to the slack value. So we
need to check again after the expiration time might have been updated.

[ tglx: Made it a single check by applying slack first and sorting
  out the slack = 0 value (all timeouts < 256 jiffies) early ]

Mark Brown c5182b8867 genirq: Ensure we locate the passed IRQ in irq_alloc_descs()
When irq_alloc_descs() is called with no base IRQ specified then it will
search for a range of IRQs starting from a specified base address. In the
case where an IRQ is specified it still does this search in order to ensure
that none of the requested range is already allocated and it still uses the
from parameter to specify the base for the search. This means that in the
case where a base is specified but from is zero (which is reasonable as
any IRQ number is in the range specified by a zero from) the function will
get confused and try to allocate the first suitably sized block of free IRQs
it finds.

Instead use a specified IRQ as the base address for the search, and insist
that any from that is specified can support that IRQ.

Linus Walleij e7fbad300a genirq: Fix descriptor init on non-sparse IRQs
The genirq changes are initializing descriptors for sparse IRQs quite
differently from how non-sparse (stacked?) IRQs are initialized, with
the effect that on my platform all IRQs are default-disabled on sparse
IRQs and default-enabled if non-sparse IRQs are used, crashing some
GPIO driver.

Fix this by refactoring the non-sparse IRQs to use the same descriptor
init function as the sparse IRQs.

The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level
handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does
not feel responsible.
This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards
it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets
called again from the threaded handler.

Thomas Gleixner 1b054b67d3 clockevents: Handle empty cpumask gracefully
For UP it's stupid to request an initialized cpumask for the clock
event devices. Though we need the mask set even on UP to avoid a
horrible ifdeffery especially in the broadcast code.

For SMP we can at least try to survive with a warning and set the
cpumask of the cpu we're running on. That gives a decent chance to
bring the machine up and retrieve the debug info.

Peter Zijlstra f339b9dc1f sched: Fix schedstat.nr_wakeups_migrate
While looking over the code I found that with the ttwu rework the
nr_wakeups_migrate test broke since we now switch cpus prior to
calling ttwu_stat(), hence the test is always true.

Cure this by passing the migration state in wake_flags. Also move the
whole test under CONFIG_SMP, its hard to migrate tasks on UP :-)

Peter Zijlstra f01114cb59 sched: Fix cross-cpu clock sync on remote wakeups
Markus reported that commit 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD
Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results.

It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote
wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to
wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats.

Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks
to restore the normal flow of time.

Peter Zijlstra d72bce0e67 rcu: Cure load woes
Commit cc3ce5176d (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.

The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.

Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.

[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
  INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]

which was introduced by commit de03c72cfc ("mm: convert
mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t"), and is due to wrong ordering of
mm_init() vs mm_init_cpumask

Thomas wrote a patch to just fix the ordering of initialization, but I
hate the new double allocation in the fork path, so I ended up instead
doing some more radical surgery to clean it all up.

Tim Chen 333c5ae994 idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos before entering idle
Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.

I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received.  This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list.  The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle.  For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:

-     37.82%          swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]          [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
   - _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
      - 95.65% pm_qos_request
           menu_select
           cpuidle_idle_call
         - cpu_idle
              99.98% start_secondary

A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.
